Define Units of Measure (Units of Measure Tab)

Use the Units of Measure tab to define, change, delete, and import or export the units of measure that you want to define for your process model. Units of measure are ultimately assigned to process variable formula parameters that you defined using the Edit Formula Parameters dialog box. If you are going to assign units of measure to process variable formula parameters, you must define them first. You can add, change, or delete a unit of measure at any time during the development of your process model. However, in planning your process model, you should consider defining them before you create process classes. You can import and export a list of units of measure to and from an ASCII text file.

To add or change a unit of measure

1. On the Process Model Editor dialog box, click the Units of Measure tab. The Units of Measure tab appears. All the units of measure that have been defined for the process model appear in the Units of Measure list.

   

2. Type a Name (16 characters maximum).

3. Click Add to include the unit of measure in the process model or click Change if you are editing an existing Name or Description.
